IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

The schcdulerefen'ed to in these Letters Patent and making part or the lapse.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, L. GHANDOR, of St. Peters burg, in the Empireot' Russia, have invented a new and useful luniroveincut in Vapor Candle; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescriptiou' thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part hi" this specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a certain vapor candle, for. which I have received Letters Patent of the United'States, numbered 93,674; and the presentinvention consists in the com hination and arrangementof' ceitain parts, as hereinal'terspeciiied.

By these improvements, I dispense with an inner metallic tube, and reduce theheat advantageously. The carbonization of the wick is prevented, and it is held firmly to its place, thus saving much time as well as wick, while the purity and steadiness of the light are insured.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 represents a. vertical section of the vapor candle.

Figure 2 is the extinguisher, detached.

Figure 3 is a top view of the end of the confirm ousnietallic tuhe'. I

Similar ietters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the liquid-reservoir.

B is the continuous tube.

0 is the-wick, which is woven, braided, or twisted, so-that itis quite rigid or stiff.

D represents the metallic gauze cap on the end of the wick.

E represents the porcelain casing, which surrounds the upper portion of the tube B. 1 represents springs, which are attached to the tube B, and bear-against the inner side ot' the casing E, and hold it in a. central position around the tube.

The upper end of the porcelain-easing E is perforated with numerous small holes, g, which allow jets of air to strike the tube B and rise in acontiunous current around the top of the tube, in a concentrated form, which serves to feed the flamewith oxygen.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, anddesireto secure by Letters Patent-- 4 1. The tube B, provided with the springs F, the metallic gauze cap D, arranged within said tube, and the casing E, perforated at its upper end, all con-. structed as shown and described, and for the purpose specified.

2. The springs F and the perforated casing E, in combination with the tube B, arranged substantially as and-for the purposes described.

The above specification of my invention signed. by me, this 22d day of Sept-euiber,'18.69.
